Abstract
The distinction between what in this book I call the morally founded image of world and peace and what I term the energetic at bottom has been known to me since my childhood. The corresponding concepts have been and still are in the air and want to be spoken, just like a melody that is in the air wants to be sung and listened to. Yet they only gained relevance in my consciousness after long years of a nomadic academic life, which led me not just many times around the globe, but also straight through many scientific disciplines.
You are what you seek.
